    Summary

    “You’re doing it again,” Bruce says, tone accusatory. “You’re faking.”

    “It’s not faking,” Dick snaps, a little more aggressive than he means to be. But he doesn’t like that word, doesn’t like the connotations.

    (Especially when he knows Bruce is lying about something, too.)

    “Then what is it?”

    “It’s called being charming and it’s nice.”

    -_-

    Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete.

    Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.

    Summary

    Here, in this Parisian hospital room, Alice and Armand begin their last collaboration: Daniel’s life story. They’re putting it together; no, they’re taking it apart. Events take place, relative to other events. One damn thing after another. But that’s how all stories work.

    In 1973, Daniel Molloy meets a stranger in Polynesian Mary’s.
    In 1974, he meets Alice and they move to New York City together.
    In 1985, he proposes to Alice, who says no. Who says yes. Who says—


    24 items (more or less) from the A.M. collection, spanning 1974 to 1985 (more or less). Presented with their accompanying manuscript.

    Summary

    “I said I’m fine, Alice,” Daniel snaps, and time itself grinds to a halt.

    Not literally. Ha. The things you have to specify with vampires. Daniel wishes he could laugh, but the sound is stuck somewhere in his throat, along with his heart. Now, of course, his hand chooses to be perfectly still.

    Why the fuck did he say that?

    *

    daniel keeps slipping up and mistaking armand for his ex-wife and the more he looks back on his memories, the less reliable they get. he's pretty sure he married alice molloy, but how do you marry a woman who apparently never existed?

    armand is armand about it.

    Summary

    “You don’t have to go if you don’t want to,” Bruce reminds the child sitting next to him gently. The limo turns a corner, and Dick exaggeratedly throws himself into Bruce’s side, giggling. Since they’ve been playing this game the entire drive to the gala, Bruce knows his role is to let out a patented sigh and hoist Dick back into a sitting position, trying to look stern and failing.

    “I wanted to come, B. Besides, Alf said it was my job to make sure you didn’t leave after 10 minutes.”
    -----
    Or, Bruce takes Dick to his first gala, things get a little hairy, and an important discussion is had about the kind of legacy we leave behind.
